Was told I had Peptic Ulcer while in Army. Was treated, have medication to prevent estreme heart burn. Has anyone claim this and can give some advice. I know is claimable, but looking for ideas for support, or trouble they had

This statement appears in many BVA claims for peptic ulcer:

"The Veteran experienced chronic stomach problems during
service, continuous symptoms of peptic ulcer disease after
service separation, and competent evidence relates the
currently diagnosed peptic ulcer disease to service."

Inservice nexus in SMRs,
continuous treatment records,
medical evidence of current disability related to the inservice ulcers.

Have you had a recent problem with your esophagus or stomach? Has the peptic ulcer been acting up lately? Due to your age, I'm guessing it's been a long time since you were in the service. Have you filed a new claim based on your present condition?

In the process now, I just hope that report is in my medical records from the AFB hospital
